PIP (Office Personalized Settings File) is a .PIP file extension related to Microsoft Office that is used to store personalized program settings. It is used to store user-specific settings, such as preferences, menus and views. PIP files are created when users first activate an Office application and can later be edited by the user or administrator to personalize the application to their liking.
Structure Of PIP File
The structure of a PIP files vary depending on the version of Office and the particular application, but typically the files comprise of several sections, including a header section, where general info about the file is stored, and a data section, where user settings are stored in a key/value pair structure. Additionally, the data sections in each PIP may contain subsections, which store different types of user settings for that particular application. The data in these subsections may range from recent document lists to customized keyboard shortcuts.
Similar File Extensions
PIP files are associated with Microsoft Office products and are similar in nature to other file extensions used by the suite, such as .ITM, .MPT, OUTLOOK, .OFT, .OTM, .QPA, .QST, .SITEMAP, .TLB, and .VSL.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .PIP) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .PIP extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .PIP file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .PIP extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .PIP extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .PIP file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .PIP file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .PIP file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .PIP file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .PIP file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
